C-SPAN Radio

C-SPAN Radio is a public affairs radio station broadcasting from Washington, D.C., providing gavel-to-gavel coverage of the United States Congress and other government proceedings. The station carries live floor proceedings from the House and Senate, press conferences, and public affairs programming without commentary or editorial framing. C-SPAN Radio's mission is straightforward: provide unedited, real-time access to the workings of the federal government. When Congress is in session, the station airs floor proceedings live. When not in session, programming covers public policy events, author talks, and archived historical content. Washington, D.C.'s unique character makes C-SPAN Radio particularly relevant locally, serving policy professionals, lobbyists, journalists, academics, and engaged citizens who want unfiltered access to official proceedings. Unlike most radio stations, C-SPAN Radio carries no music and no entertainment programming — it exists purely to fulfill its public affairs mission, funded by the cable industry.
